If you have leftovers, let the noodles cool, then transfer them to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just pop them in the microwave or reheat on the stovetop with a splash of water.
Ground Pork Ramen Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb. Ground pork or beef
- 1/2 cup shredded Carrots about 1 medium carrot
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground or Fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- Dash of red pepper flakes optional
- 3 packages Ramen noodles seasoning removed, cooked and drained
- 2 Eggs
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork, shredded carrots, and minced garlic. Cook until the pork is browned.
- Stir in the ground ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes (if using), and soy sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles and stir well. The noodles will absorb most of the liquid. Push the noodle mixture to one side of the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the empty side of the pan. Let them cook for a bit, then break them up and mix them into the noodles.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sriracha sauce, green onions, extra red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a more vibrant flavor, use fresh ginger instead of ground. Simply grate a small piece directly into the pan.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
- If you like your eggs slightly runny, add them towards the end of cooking and stir gently to avoid overcooking.
